Contact ID
Contact ID is a specialized format that will communicate information quickly using tones rather than
pulses. In addition to sending information more quickly the format also allows more information to be sent.
For example, rather than reporting an alarm zone 1 the Contact ID format can also report the type of alarm,
such as Entry/Exit alarm zone 1.
To program Contact ID a two digit number from Appendix A must be entered for every event to be
transmitted. The two digit number determines the type of alarm. The panel will automatically generate all
other information, including the zone number.
This communication format cannot be selected if Central Station Two-Way Voice is required.
Additional Notes on Contact ID
1. Account numbers must be four digits in length.
2. If the digit ‘0’ is in the account number substitute the HEX digit ‘A’ for the ‘0’.
3. All reporting codes must be two digits in length.
4. If the digit ‘0’ is in the reporting code substitute the HEX digit ‘A’ for the ‘0’.
5. To prevent the panel from reporting an event program the reporting code for the event as [00] or [FF].
Refer to Appendix A for a list of Contact ID Identifiers.

5.6.3
SIA (Level 2)
SIA is a specialized format that will communicate information quickly using frequency shift keying (FSK)
rather than pulses. The SIA format will automatically generate the type of signal being transmitted, such as
Burglary, Fire, Panic etc. The two digit reporting code is used to identify the zone or user code number.
If the SIA format is selected the panel can be programmed to automatically generate all zone
and user codes numbers eliminating the need to program these items.
If the SIA Sends Automatic Reporting Codes option is enabled the panel will operate as follows:
1. If the reporting code for an event is programmed as [00] the panel will not attempt to call the central station.
2. If the reporting code for an event is programmed as anything from [01] to [FF] the panel will
AUTOMATICALLY generate the zone or user code number.
3. Bypassed zones will always be identified when partial closing the system.
The Communicator Call Direction Options can be used to disable reporting of events such as Openings/
Closings. Also, if all the Opening/Closing reporting codes were programmed as [00] the panel would not report.
If the SIA Sends Automatic Reporting Codes option is disabled the panel will operate as follows:
1. If the reporting code for an event is programmed as [00] or [FF] the panel will not attempt to call central
station.
2. If the reporting code for an event is programmed as anything from [01] to [FE] the panel will send the
programmed reporting code.
3. Bypassed zones will never be identified, regardless of reporting code for “partial closing”.
Refer to Appendix B for a list of SIA identifiers.

Pager Format
The
Communicator Format
option for either phone number can be programmed for Pager Format. If an
event occurs and the
Communicator Call Direction
options direct the call to a phone number with the
Pager Format selected the panel will attempt to page.
When calling a pager extra digits will be required to make it work properly.
The following is a list of Hex digits and what function they perform:
Hex [B] - simulates the [
✱
] key on a touch tone phone
Hex [C] - simulates the [#] key on a touch tone phone
Hex [D] - forces the panel to search for dial tone
Hex [E] - two second pause
Hex [F] - end of phone number marker
The panel will attempt to call the pager one time. After dialing the digits in the phone number the panel will
send the account number and reporting code followed by the [#] key (Hex [C]).
The panel has no way of confirming if the pager was called successfully which means a failure to
communicate trouble will never be generated.
NOTE: In order for proper operation it may be necessary to insert 3 or 4 pauses (Hex digits [E]) at
the end of the phone number.
